What Happened
The fuel tank in your Jeep is the big container that holds the gasoline. In your 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee or 2002-2007 Liberty, the tank could crack or leak in a rear-end collision.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel tank leaks, it could spill gasoline onto the hot engine or exhaust system, causing a fire that could burn you or damage your vehicle.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect the rear structure of your Jeep to check for any damage to the fuel tank. If needed, they'll install a new tow hitch to help protect the tank, free of charge.
